Outkast Reunion During the Summer – Group Confirms 40 Date World Tour for 20 Year Anniversary

OutKast is taking a trip down memory lane as they get ready to reunite for a world tour.

The rap duo formerly known as Two Shades Deep declared that they will hit their tour in full force by performing in more than 40 shows this summer. The duo turned to recently created social media accounts to reveal the news to their devotees, according to Billboard.

"Outkast will return to the stage with a full festival run of over 40 dates to celebrate 20 years. #Outkast20 - Team Outkast," tweeted the group via Twitter announcing their return.

The announcement comes after the news that OutKast will main event the annual Coachella carnival at Indio, CA to honor the pair's 20th anniversary.

"And imagine, all we wanted to do was rap! I am thankful to have been a part of a group that allowed me to explore anything that came to mind and have fun doing it. Returning to the stage together is the most exciting way for us to thank everyone for their 20 years of supporting Outkast," said André 3000 in a message on the Outkast site.

Fans have awaited this reunion of the hip hop group ever since the duo went their separate ways after the release of the popular Idlewild film's soundtrack in 2006. Record label politics had allegedly prohibited the pair from producing more music together as OutKast previously stated, according to Entertainment Time.
